RADIO TUNING
If you know the frequency of the radio
station you are seeking, or you need to select
a radio station that is too weak to be found
by automatic tuning, use manual tuning, as
follows:
Select the desired waveband (FM or AM),
then press the ’MAN’ button (6). By briefly
pressing either tuning button (5), the
frequency changes (either up or down) in
steps of 0.1 MHz for FM, or 1 kHz for AM.
Fast manual tuning
By keeping either manual tuning button
depressed, the waveband is scanned rapidly
(up or down) until the button is released.
Automatic tuning
Select the required waveband (FM or AM),
then briefly press one of the tuning buttons
(5) - (’SEEK’ along with the chosen
waveband appear in the display).
The radio automatically searches the
frequency range (either up or down
depending upon which button is pressed)
looking for a station of acceptable strength.
The search then stops unless you choose to
continue by pressing the tuning button
again.
The search can be stopped at any time by
pressing any pre-set button.
Weather band
Press the AM button (4) up to three times
until ’WB’ appears in the display. The radio
will automatically search for the strongest
national weather station signal in the area.
If the radio is unable to find a sufficiently
strong weather information signal, it will
continue to search (’NO WB’ appears in the
display) until a strong enough signal is
found. To leave WB mode and return to
radio/cassette or CD play, press the
appropriate AM, FM, TAPE or CD mode
button.

Waveband scan
Select the desired waveband (FM or AM) and
press the SCAN button (8). The radio scans
through the waveband, seeking stations of
acceptable strength (the waveband,
frequency and ’SC’ are displayed). The radio
stops at each one it finds and plays that
station for 5 seconds, the radio then mutes
and scans for the next station.
To stop the scan, press the button again -
the radio commences playing the station at
which the scan was stopped.
NOTE: If you have a car telephone with a
mute signal output connected to the radio,
the radio automatically mutes when the
telephone is in use.
MONO/STEREO
Whenever the FM waveband is selected, the
radio automatically reproduces stereo sound,
provided a suitable signal is available.
However, if a signal becomes too weak for
good stereo reception, only mono sound is
produced until the signal strengthens
sufficiently for stereo sound reproduction.
